Public Health Today
-
Although there are several public health textbooks published, there is a need to have a textbook tailored mainly to undergraduates, and this is that book. Also, this is also an interactive textbook with exercises and applications that help students to apply the content right away and at the moment after they finish reading a section in the textbook. One more thing for this book is that it is free, since it is an OER (Open Educational Resource) textbook.

Reading the Bible as Literature: a Journey
-
The Bible is one of the most published books in human history. It is also one of the most misquoted, misunderstood and misused books in human history. This happens because people are not always aware that the Bible is not a book, it is a collection of diverse writings. The Bible might even be called an anthology, and it will include everything from poetry to genealogy, pithy sayings to architectural mandates, mythology to letters. Knowing what one is reading helps one understand the ideas in the writings. We read letters in the context of who wrote them and who received them. We read sermons understanding the speaker's perspective may differ from the listener's perspective. So this text is an attempt to give historic, literary, geographical and cultural context to a complex and often poorly understood set of materials. This is very much an ebook, and needs to be used in that format. Pdfs and other printed versions will lose a great deal of the content.
